All About The SM-10RS

It's not just another wheel design. The Forged SM-10RS is an ultralight version of our already popular SM-10 design and it packs some features that you might not know you want in a motorsport wheel.
Join us in a more technical deep dive into what makes the SM-10RS different from others in the Sprint Line and why you should be paying attention to the engineering efforts we put into designing our motorsport wheels.
Just like all Sprint line wheels, the new SM-10RS features:
- Sprint Spec Inner Lip
- Fully Forged from 6061 Aluminum
- Massive Spoke and Barrel Clearance
- Un-Painted Knurled Beads
- Lifetime Structural Warranty
- Unmatched Replacement Program
We don’t know if we just made choosing your next set easier or harder.

YESSS so excited for the SM-10RS launch 🤘🏻

👊 🔥

[@paulb2948]

This design is soooo goood! Need these for my 2005 WRX!!

[@KVIZZZZLE]

im gonna get these for my ISF in bronze :)

[@TipoF129B]

This is your most beautiful wheel. Please make a 20 inch fitment for GT4 RS.

[@aldy_wan]

Curious on your guys 17x9.5 sm10rs concave for the s2000.. i’m highly interested but read in the description “17x9.5" ET51 Concave offers improved concavity in exchange for only clearing stock brakes.” Is this only true to stock s2000 brakes or what aftermarket possible BBK applications can I actually fit on this spec? i would love to be able to fit a BBK and highly love this wheel over the wedsports tc105n/x!

[@teonmalachi9611]

Wheels look beautiful i was wondering can they fit a small SUV like a cx-50

[@eekay3646]

Do these fit a C7 Stingray Z51 ("narrow body") without modifications?

[@MR0B0T0]

Any plans for air-cooled 911 fitments? Looking for 18x10 et 55 and 10x8.5 et 55. 5x130.

[@mperformanceuncommercial]

We want your VS5 here in Germany for the BMW f82 in 19/20 OEM CS Spec but we need a European Tüv Certificate. Please Guys, keep on pushing!!!!

[@SirHC888]

I need a drag pack for my C6 Z06 corvette that will fit over my stock front 6-piston brakes. 18” or 17” for the rear, 17” diameter for the front.

[@jonathanb1987]

Damn these look great and the price is appealing too for a forged wheel. If I didn't just buy my WedsSport TC105X wheels last year, I would be picking these up for my 2019 STI.

[@apexwheels]

Appreciate the kind words! We do have some new Forged WRX/STI specific fitments in the works so be sure to reach out next time you're in the market!

[@Kunal636]

I just saw the website! How much does the wheel for the sti weigh? I’m looking at the 18x9x5 +40. Also is +40 a bit aggressive? My current setup is 245/35/19. Wheel size is 19x8.5. My new set up with the 10RS would be 265/35/18. Wheel size would be 18x9.5 +40. The new wheel will have an inner wheel 2.3mm further away from the suspension strut and the outer rim will poke about 27.7mm more than my OEM setup. Would this impact handling or compromise anything? Thanks in advance!

[@apexwheels]

Hi Kunal, the 18x9.5" ET40 VS-5RS weighs in at 18.3lbs. That offset is actually 2mm less aggressive than our old Flow formed EC-7 fitment that we designed for these cars. With a 255/35-18 or a 265/35-18 this fitment is a direct fit in most cases. The only instance where you might see an issue if when running especially wide 200Tw track compound tires in the 265 or larger width. Here's a link to our old fitment guide which touches on the EC-7 model: support.apexraceparts.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260801720549-VA-WRX-WRX-STI-Wheel-Tire-Fitment-Guide If you have any other questions, please send in an email to [e-mail]

[@Kunal636]

@@apexwheels Hi Thanks for the reply. I wanted to see how much the SM-10RS weighed at.

[@apexwheels]

Sorry for the slow reply! The Sm-10RS in the WRX/STI fitment weighs in at 18.2lbs.

[@TRZ0612]

While the Knurling is nice to keep the tire in place on the rim, I have heard reports of that causing air leaks as well.

[@apexwheels]

Our knurling can sometimes require more effort to get tires mounted properly, but we feel the benefits are worthwhile. If you or anyone experiences issues, we are happy to assist them directly! You can reach us at [e-mail] !

Gloss Black in the SM-10RS, Please. 2016 GT350R 19x11 ET52 19x12 ET57 If they will not be available, should the set be ordered is the aluminum finish so I can have them powder coated ? Thank you.

[@apexwheels]

The front wheels are currently in stock in black, but the rears are backordered with an ETA of about 90 days. It's your prerogative to paint them, but be advised that could void the finish warranty since we can't guarantee the workmanship. bit.ly/4bskNo3 We have some other wheel options fully in stock if you're open to them, you can click around the wheel configurator to see.

[@jonnyrmatthews]

I can't seem to select a 18" Civic Type R fitment for this wheel design or I would be on your bulk order right now.

[@apexwheels]

Sorry about that, right now we only have the VS-5RS design available. With that said, we will be monitoring demand for a CTR SM-10RS going forward!

[@anan7s294]

Will it fit on the new defender 20”?

[@apexwheels]

Unfortunately none of our wheels carry a high enough load rating for use on larger SUV models. With that said, we have considered entering the light truck and SUV markets for quite some time. If you're interested in helping us track interest, please send in an email with what you'd like to see offered along with your full name to [e-mail]

[@nfancioni]

I am looking for 2019 Corvette grand sport chrome wheels

[@apexwheels]

Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately we do not offer a chrome finish at this time, but I will forward your interest along to the team. Our closest option would be the Brushed Clear color which you can find examples of in our gallery linked below: apexwheels.com/gallery#finish%3DBrushed%2520Clear%26make%3DChevrolet%26model%3DCorvette You can also checkout our C7 wide-body fitment guide here: support.apexraceparts.com/hc/en-us/articles/360053639634-C7-Widebody-Corvette-Wheel-Tire-Fitment-Guide Let me know if you have any questions!

[@joseorozco3034]

Is Apex willing to collaborate on a Tesla Model Y with fitment of 19x10.5 offset 33? I have partner with Unplugged Performance for all their aero & suspension mods and looking for the SM 10RS in motorsport gold to compliment the project. Thoughts?

[@apexwheels]

Hi Jose, thanks for reaching out! For all partnership requests, you can get in touch with our marketing team via email at [e-mail]. Please send in your proposal whenever is convenient and our man Joe Hobbs will be in touch with you as soon as possible.

I hope it comes in a jdm Subaru forester fitment

Appreciate the interest! If you wouldn’t mind, please send an email to [e-mail] with details on the model and fitment you’d like to see offered in the future. Please include any details about your vehicle that you think would be helpful to mention along with your full name and email address, so that I can add you to our customer lead list to better track demand!

[@drewjackson6485]

Will you be making a forged 18x8.5 in the bronze?

[@apexwheels]

Hi Drew, what vehicle application are you asking about?

[@727DJack]

@@apexwheels VW GTI MK7

[@apexwheels]

Sorry for the slow reply here! Making an 18" forged VW fitment is high on our to do list. We will for sure have a 9" width, but I can't say for sure about an 8.5". Please be sure to keep in touch for updates and feel free to reach out anytime on this project!

[@727DJack]

@@apexwheels no worries! I appreciate it! If you have the 9in inch width would it still fit without rubbing on front fender without having the fender screw mod or camber adjustment?

[@TheSwedishCarGuy]

sweeet :D

[@balucipher]

I wish you guys could add brushed clear as a finish choice for the SM-10RS in Camaro fitment for the group buy

[@apexwheels]

Sorry about that! We do have to make an effort to keep the total number of unique SKUs low enough to effectively manage. Depending on demand and sales, we may add that finish at some point in the future, but we have no plans right now.

[@yamans4134]

what is the brand of wheels?

[@apexwheels]

Thanks for commenting on our video. These wheels and every wheel featured on our channel are APEX brand. You can visit our website at the link below: apexwheels.com/ If you have any questions, feel free to send in an email at [e-mail]

[@JasonSmith-tk5eb]

Still waiting on a Monster Miata size. 15x11 to 15x12. The guys running these sizes also have the budget for a sprint line wheel.

[@apexwheels]

Appreciate the interest! Just to be sure we're on the same page, you'd like that for NA/NB gen cars?

[@JasonSmith-tk5eb]

@@apexwheels that would be ideal. Lots of us run forged hubs and Hoosier A7/R7 in the 275-295 range and need an off the shelf wheel option that can take some abuse as well as be lightweight. Other off the shelf options are too heavy and not optimized like the RS series wheels.

[@apexwheels]

Got it! Thank you for the info. I'll forward all of this along to our team.

[@JasonSmith-tk5eb]

@@apexwheels that would be great, thank you

[@RacersDelight]

@APEXwheels completely agree on this need. I would love a 15x12 for my NA Miata running 275 Hoosiers front and rear. Wheels really are super limited in 15’s when you go that wide on the Miata’s…

[@FrancoisTCS]

When would you do a modern turbine/sawblade wheels? Or a rallye/aero type?

[@apexwheels]

I love the idea! We don't have any plans right now, but we have discussed removable aero covers for brake cooling.

[@MidnightMustang]

Really, y'all made these after I got myself the SM-10s? 😭

[@ktownogg]

Hey guys I love your wheels but wanted to see if there is any news on Alfa Romeo fitments? I believe Apex is working on it but is there an ETA?

[@apexwheels]

Hi Michael, thank you for reaching out! We still don't have a concrete ETA as this project was put aside for a few months, however it will be getting back on track very soon. We'll do our best to keep everyone updated, but if you would like a notification the moment they're available for preorder, please send in an email with your full name and year/model of alfa so that we can add you to our lead list. Thank you for your continued patience on this front!

@@apexwheels Thanks for getting back to me. I will send you a note so I get a heads up!

Looking for 15x9 Miata fitments still. Theres only one or two good wheel options in that fitment, and there's a lot of track miata people that would definitely buy a good wheel in that size.
